TIDE WATER CANAL CoMPANY.-REcEIvER
ASKED For On Tuesday Messrs. Robert A.
Dobbin and Henry w. Archer, Jr., attorneys
for Geo. W. Dobbin, of Baltimore, filed in the
Clerks Office at Bel Air bill In equity, alleg.
ing that the Tide Water Canal Company lie in
solvent and praying that receiver may be ap-
pointed to take possession and management OF
the canal and operate the same and that an in,
junction may issue TO prevent any and all persons
acting under the Canal Company from inter-
fering In any manner with the receivers. Also
that decree may be passed for the sale of the
canal and its works and the proceeds distri-
buted among the parties respectively entitled
thereto. The bill also prays that decree may
be passed for the sale OF the property.
The Tide Water Canal Company was Great.
ed In 1889, for the purpose Of constructing a
canal along the west bank of the Susquehanna
river, from Havre de Grace TO the Pennsy lyauia
line The canal from the latter point was op-
Grated under the name OF 1.-THE Susquehanna
Canal Company" These companies in 1889
borrowed 81, 0O0, 600 from the State of Maryland.
In 1s43 the Canal Companies were autho-
riZed to issue additional bonds to the amount
ofsl55, $50, Of which bonds $97, 500 were made
first lien on the property.
The complainant alleges that he is the owner
Of fifteen of the said Glide Water Canal Priority
Bonds" payment of the interest due upon
which has been refused by the company.
The canal suffered much damage by the ice
gorges in the Susquehanna, this winter, es-
pecally between Lapidum and Havre de Grace,
and there has been some talk of making
Lapidum the terminus The Havre de Grace
Republican strongly opposes this, giving speci-
fc reasons why, in its judgment, Lapidum would
be unsuitable as terminus. The abandon
ment Of Havre de Grace as the terminus of the
canal, The Republican thinks. wonld be a severe
blow to the city.
